“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We had a large king room with a gorgeous view. I guess the benefit to being one of the older motels in town is that you have one of the best locations. While the decor is certainly dated and some corners looked dusty, they have done a good job of updating the important things: the bed was extremely comfortable, the sheets were smooth, the shower curtain was clean, and the towels were fluffy.

Just two negatives: While the staff was generally friendly and efficient, it would have been nice if the pack-n-play had been set up in our room, rather than just put there for us to assemble at 11 p.m. Also, the breakfast left much to be desired. Not many options, and very little that was healthy other than the packets of oatmeal. The eggs were practically inedible. It's hard to complain about a free breakfast at the price we paid for the room, but I would have rather paid less for the room and gotten breakfast elsewhere. If we'd been staying more than one night, I would have skipped the hotel's breakfast and been happier.

We'll definitely return to this hotel the next time we're driving through Lexington. I'd like to come in the summer to enjoy the pool and the putt putt course!

“Quite sufficient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

All I really wanted was a good night's sleep during a long trip. To that end, my low expectations were exceeded.

The room was quite adequate, even spacious, with only a king-size bed in mine. The internet connection worked well (which so seldom happens at hotels like this) and all the furnishings and bathroom layout were up to par. This was no Ritz, and I'm not sure I would have wanted to spend lots of time there while exploring the area, but for passing through, it was up to snuff.

The breakfast gets its own paragraph because it was more than I expected. One could make their own waffles, toast their own English muffins, select their own fruit or cereal, and more. Again, nothing extravagant, but it definitely saved me time and money as I scrambled to get on the road. I'll keep this in mind should I pass through Lexington again.

Hopefully soon they'll fix the sign so folks can find the circuitous driveway in the dark.

“Pay attention to the reviews!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012 via mobile

We had to find this in the dark, and as other reviews stated, it is VERY hard to find! We could see it, just couldn't find any signs telling us how to get there. Room was basic, would have like a king bed, only doubles were offered. bed was hard as a board, my mother in law also said her bed was very hard. breakfast was decent, it got us down the road without having to waste time to go somewhere else to eat. bath was very small, not enough room to put cosmetic items..it was a pain.
